Latest Patents

Foxworthy is credited with 1 patent: “System for Transferring Digital Data Between a Host Device and a Target Recording Medium.” The invention describes a buffer interface control unit that uses separate direct memory access (DMA) units to move data between a host device, buffer memory, and a write interface.

The host DMA unit stores data in prescribed, noncontinuous buffer locations, leaving interspersed locations for error-code characters. It also places error-correction code characters in designated buffer locations. The target DMA unit retrieves data in a noncontinuous sequence, creating open time slots where error-detection code characters can be inserted before the data is sent to the write interface.

Career Highlights

Foxworthy’s listed company affiliation is Cipher Data Products, Inc. His patent reflects work on data-transfer architecture that coordinates buffer storage with error-code handling.

Collaborations

Foxworthy’s listed coworkers include William S. Clark, Jr., and Stephen R. Schossow.
